US pressure on the Lebanese state continues, with close monitoring of the situation. There is no other option but for the party to hand over its weapons sooner or later. There is no decision in the United States to stop support for the Lebanese Army, and it will receive more support if the weapons-restriction mission is implemented.
The US administration hopes that the warnings it expresses in meetings with Lebanese officials will produce a result.
The institute is following the US administration's position on what is happening in Lebanon. The situation inside Lebanon is not good, and the work on disarming Hezbollah is not serious. This will lead to a worsening of conditions and to the Israeli army staying longer in Lebanon. And since there is no sovereignty and no peace, there is no economy and no institutions ready to help Lebanon or invest in it.
